What has helped your depression?

[mentalhealthandme]

I have an anxiety disorder and suffer from depression as well. I noticed recently no matter what i do the depression symptoms haunt me. For me right now its the feeling of isolation and being forgotten. I feel like my existence doesn't matter to anybody and that im wasting my youth away because i have no close friends. The family is becoming more distant. Sometimes my mom feels like a stranger. I feel scared a lot. I dont expect anyone to have the cure for me, but maybe something to help me cope. What has helped you in the past?

hello, I don’t want this to be taken as anything other than personal experience but I tend to look for one thing that I enjoy or am interested in and even if it’s hard for me to start, I try to put all my effort into beginning (which I find to be the hardest part) and then go with it. That being said I have tons of unfinished projects but that’s ok because the only reason I’m doing it is because I enjoy it. I find having something you enjoy to center your day around can be quite helpful for me.
